WHEN: This Saturday, February 20th 12-1pm local time
We will be educating Walmart customers at 50+ stores across the country about Walmart’s two-faced stance as a champion of “Made in America” products. Walmart’s website and TV ad campaign says “We are committed to American renewal. We believe we can create more American jobs by supporting more American manufacturing.” We are calling on Walmart to live up to this promise.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are short of our goal by 20 locations nationwide. If you or someone you know can help host a Walmart location near them please call, text, or email asap. It's only 1 hour from 12-1pm THIS Saturday! We can ship all materials needed ASAP. Reach out to me with any questions!Background Information:
